Tottenham ended their 17-year wait for a trophy as Brennan Johnson’s first-half goal sinked Manchester United in the Europa League final.

The victory means under-fire head coach Ange Postecoglou has fulfilled a promise to deliver silverware in his second season at Spurs.

Postecoglou, who said he would never be a clown in his pre-match address, brought smiles and unbridled joy to the faces of the 15,000 official, and many unofficial Tottenham fans in Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium.

Victory may not save Postecoglou from a Spurs exit in the coming weeks. however the Australian will leave as a hero after joining Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw in winning a European trophy with the north London giants.

Tottenham followed the lead of Newcastle and Crystal Palace in making this a season of glory for clubs who rarely, if ever, win a trophy.

The London club also set to benefit from a £100m windfall after qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim will send his side into the final Premier League game of the season against Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Portuguese manager enjoyed the backing of the ownership however his decision to pick Mason Mount ahead of Alejandro Garnacho in an attacking role did not work.

They came close to an equaliser with a Rasmus Hojlund header, following Guglielmo Vicario’s error, that was acrobatically cleared off the line by Micky van de Ven midway through the second half.

Vicario then made a dramatic late save to keep out Luke Shaw’s header.
